Terry’s Chocolate Orange Larabars

This recipe came to be quite simply because I wanted a Terry’s Chocolate Orange. I wanted it, but I didn’t want the added sugar and dairy. So, I did what I do and created my own healthy version! This recipe turned out perfectly. The flavor is right-on!

You know I love a whole, natural foods energy bar or ball. Here are some of my now famous creations:

• Healthy Eatmore Protein Bars
• How to make Larabars
• Key Lime Pie Protein Balls
• Blueberry Muffin, Cranberry Truffle and Cherry Pie Energy Balls
• How to make Protein Balls
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

This recipe will be great for a mid-morning snack, to replace your chocolate orange cravings or a great snack for the kids. This is a must-make recipe.

This recipe is raw, gluten-free, vegan, no-bake, and 5 minute prep.
 

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Larabars

Makes 8-10 Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Cashews
• 1 Cup Pitted Dates
• 1/4 Cup Ground Flax
• Juice of 1 Orange
• Zest of 1/2 Orange
• 2 Tbsp Natural Cocoa Powder
• 3-4 Packets Stevia (This is optional – it just makes it sweeter like a chocolate bar but you certainly don’t need it. You can also use Agave, Honey or Maple Syrup)
• 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Protein Option – You are free to add 2 scoops of protein powder to this recipe. If you do this you may want to add 3-4 tbsp of water.

Tip – If your dates are dry or you do not have a high-powdered food processor soaking your dates in water overnight will soften them and make it easier on your machine.

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients into your food processor and blend until larabar consistency (not completely smooth).
2. Place ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour (this is a step I do because it makes the mixture less sticky to work with).
3. Remove from refrigerator and place dough on a cutting board.
4. Taking a piece of saran wrap press dough down and out until you reach larabar thickness.
5. Using a knife cut bars into larabar-sized serving.
6. Wrap each individual bar in saran warp for quick-to-grab snacks.
7. Store in the refrigerator.
8. Enjoy!
